Me kids said "Dad, just tell us one more time About when you were young and in your prime And the way that you met Ma, all the things you saw Tell us about the things you used to do" I closed my eye and rolled the years away And everything's the same as yesterday How could I forget the summer when we met In Dublin town in 1962. All the days were sunny, all the skies were blue In Dublin town in 1962. We climbed the hill of Howth and down again We walked home from the Pillar in the rain We courted in the park we're the lights glow in the dark We danced in Clery's and the Metropol to two Then we crossed the Ha'penny bridge at evening tide It felt so good to have you by my side We watched the mailboats sail Paperboys shout Herald or Mail In Dublin town in 1962. All the days were sunny, all the skies were blue In Dublin town in 1962. Like many more we kissed it all goodbye We sailed away to give our luck a try In the land across the sea that's been good to you and me Where our children played like we once used to do Now me kids said "Dad that's really quite a tale We know you have the spirit of the Gael We have no regrets and we're very glad you met In Dublin town in 1962" In Dublin town in 1962
